"im always very insecure, as we all are.." how can you be insecure? "well, that's being human, that's being alive" I love that ~ most humble man of such fame and a net worth of +130mil USD ~ incredible

He's always been sharp..
Love how he explained his nature of being a "recluse" … He had no shame in it and didn't make it sound depressing. A lot of people assume that its a bad thing or that their is something wrong with someone who doesn't have a lot of friends. If you can still care about people, communicate and enjoy the company when it is there, then there's nothing wrong with it.

“I thought it was a children’s story, Silence of the Lambs.” *I bet it was a bit of a shock when he got the script* 😂😂😂
What I admire the most about Anthony Hopkins is his HONESTY.
My mother worked with him once when she was a child. Said he was one of the nicest people she had ever met, always ready to play games and do magic tricks for the children on set.
These days there are too many personalities and not enough actors. But Anthony Hopkins is an ACTOR. He leaves me awestruck he is so talented.

Mr. Blunt how so do you figure? I see ‘personalities’ as meaning people interested in being famous and being on magazine covers, and ‘actors,’ as people who are genuinely interested in the work, and so the quality of work is better. How do you see it differently? (I’m not asking for a fight, I’m genuinely curious about how you see this, because I haven’t heard this point of view before.)

Just for the record, it's _Lecter_ . Great comment though! 😆
There is always something about Hopkins that when I see him, I can just see an endless amount of wisdom, intelligence, and talent.
De Niro? Wow such a humble answer from one of the greatest actors about another one. You can feel a lot if respect. Hannibals portrayal will stay unforgettable.
Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter is one of the most impressive performances I've seen. I really get the monstrousness in his performance, but also the impression that he's a likeable person.
Hopkins, Daniel Day Lewis, Pacino, and few more old fellas are the golden core of Cinema. Without them, 90% of Hollywood is gone.
*When He said 'Clarice' i passed out.*
He is an example of what can be achieved if you you live a life true to yourself. That is why he is such a great actor and why he is so liked. He is in touch with himself. He knows who he is. Actually, that is the essence of enlightenment.

Its insane that he’s still at the top of his game after all this time. I mean I’m Gen Z and knew who he was early on but it was Westworld where I really learned how truly brilliant he was and after that made sure to watch his older films, how the hell in his 70s he can still give such a masterful performance in Westworld that rivals his best roles, and now in One Life too, or The Father. A true legend.
the bad side of having such a memorable role is that most of the comments are about just one of his many great performances. granted it as a career making role, but hes made many other great things, I loved him in The Edge where he shows how humble he can be. his latest role i westworld is another tour de force from the great man

Oh yes, finally some one who shares my opinion! That was my first thought, too! Nothing against The Silence of the Lambs, obviously! Hannibal Lecter might have been greatest piece of art, his most breathtaking 'creature' to portray, but Mr. Stevens is the very very best job he's ever done portraying a human being! You could feel the man's pain with the slightest move of his finger! Sublime...

It's great to see him back with such good material in Westworld. He had amazing success in the 1990s with Silence of the Lambs, the Merchant Ivory stuff, Nixon, Shadowlands and Amistrad. I'd love see him work with De Niro as well, and Pacino - and Michael Caine again(I know they were both in "A Bridge Too Far").
